The plaintiff, EllisDon Residential Inc., sought an injunction against Limen Group Const. (2019) Ltd. to resume work and against Defendant Unions for inducing breach of contract and interfering with economic relations.
The defendants argued the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) had exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute.
The court applied the Weber test, finding the essential character of the dispute related to labour relations and the interpretation of collective agreements, falling within the OLRB's exclusive jurisdiction.
The court dismissed the injunction motion and stayed the action, deferring to the OLRB.
